US-Russia Relations

US-Russia Relations refers to the diplomatic, political, economic, and military interactions between the United States and the Russian Federation. This relationship has evolved significantly since the establishment of formal diplomatic ties in the 18th century, characterized by periods of cooperation and conflict. Key historical phases include the Cold War, marked by ideological rivalry and military tensions, and the post-Cold War era, which saw attempts at partnership. Issues like arms control, trade, human rights, and regional conflicts (such as those in Ukraine and Syria) have heavily influenced the course of US-Russia relations. The dynamics are shaped by both nations’ foreign policies, national interests, and global geopolitical circumstances.
